“Vintage contemporary” is the hottest term in luxury watches today. Become used to hearing the phrase, brands and buyers alike adopt an antique sensibility in the watch industry. Ludicrous sizes and baroque design characteristics defined watchmaking in the aughts. The pendulum, however, inevitably swings back.
The neo-vintage watches that include historic creative accents are like an oasis in the middle of the desert, especially when art and fashion are pursuing metaverse advancements. We have covered our best five below if you are into these kinds of watches.
